How we handle worktop repair in Flete

We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Whether it’s chips on edges and corners and damage to a stone worktop, we can help, on granite & marble, laminate and quartz alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A top that moves on its units

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
